Chapter 146: Chapter 146

Ethlyn immediately realized what she ended up speaking in all this mess, but she wasn't regretting it. It had bound to happen, right? Either this way or that way, she had to tell him. And what mattered the most was to clear the misunderstanding that she unintentionally created in his mind in the process of making him jealous.

"And I'm not protecting Nathan right now because I'm concerned for him. I'm protecting him because I'm concerned for you because I don't want him to do anything in anger which isn't required at all." Ethlyn explained and removed her hand from her mouth. She waited for his response for a while, but it never came, maybe because he was still trying to absorb what he had just heard.

Calvin wouldn't lie, but Ethlyn's confession made his knees weak. 'I love you, duffer.' The words circled in his head. So, he couldn't move or react; just simply stared at Ethlyn without even blinking his eyes.

Ethlyn turned her head toward Nathan and spoke, "I can't believe you, Nathan. Just because you came to know that I don't have my memory of my past, you stoop this low?" She asked in disgust.

"What the hell were you thinking? Taking advantage of my situation?" She asked again. "Leave the pack after… after treating your nose." She added, pointing toward his nose, which was still bleeding.

"Damn, why are you standing? You should sit on the bed and lift your head up, throwing it backward." She guided him by making him sit on her bed. She turned around to see whether Calvin was jealous because of this gesture, but it looked like he wasn't.

"Don't you think you should call the nurse or doctor, Alpha Calvin?" Nathan said in a sarcastic tone. Ethlyn really thought that Nathan was planning to die but what surprised her was Calvin's words.

"Why should I call them? Let me provide you the first aid on my own." Calvin responded in a sarcastic way and searched for the first aid box that was kept in the room as it was mandatory to keep it in all the rooms of the hospital.

Ethlyn's eyes widened when Calvin started cleaning Nathan's injury.

Like seriously? Was she dreaming? But she doubted that they would be this friendly.

"What am I missing?" She asked, looking at her past and present together in a friendly way. "Alpha Calvin, you were so mad at him just a moment before, and now you are dressing him. Not just that, you also ignored what I just confessed." She pointed out.

Taking a deep breath, she asked in a low tone, "Does… does it matter nothing to you?"

'Please don't say 'NO' just for the sake of your EGO.' She mentally spoke. Calvin gave cotton to Nathan's hand so that he could help himself.

"What did you confess?" He asked with a poker face. "I want to listen to it again."

Ethlyn narrowed her eyes and started thinking about whether she should confess her feelings in front of him again. He might mock her or make fun of her. "I love you, DUFFER." She repeated, stressing the last word.

All of a sudden, she was in his arms; Calvin read her face before speaking, "Did I ever tell you that you look super sexy when you're pissed?"

"Well, I kind of figured that out on my own." She hissed. "And if you're thinking that I will apologize to you for playing this game, then keep dreaming that won't happen. Because I'm not at all sorry for what I did in the past few days."
